Shearing Day: Sheep Farm Helper

Photography by Angela Jane Howard

Rachael H. is helping within the shearing day production of the fleece removing line-up.  This is her first time holding onto a sheep, and feeling the difference in watching her mom holding onto an animal that wants to go another direction, the whole hold time, to holding on herself.  Mom has more practice on how to hold, wait with the sheep, and shows like the sheep is with the same program idea.  Holding sheep is a good workout.
